Training objective: 2 hours on any terrain with the cadence between 75-85 rpm's and the heart rate at 130-140 bpm's. If the legs feel good put some really hard efforts into the last 30 minutes of the ride. Rode with another fellow, so couldn't really manage to keep a consistent endurance pace - often below and occasionally higher, at least on the hills. We started off a bit on the fast side of (say 145 bpm's) bu that didn't last too long, as my ride partner seemed to be struggling, so we ended up going slower (he set the initial pace). I had to slow even further at times or loop back. Oh well. Gave it a bit on a few sections towards the end. Still couldn't wish for a better day out there! Zebras spotted next to the fence on one section - try that in Amsterdam! Rest day tomorrow. May go out and hit a bucket or two of balls and put golf coach Val Holland's lessons to work. :)
